Question

Name the principle on which a rocket works.

Answer 1

Rocket science is one of the most complicated genres of the whole science field.

The flying principle of the rocket is a very complex thing and cannot be expressed in a small explanation.

But,the rockets mainly fly according to the Newton's third law of motion.

Here,the rocket engine applies a thrust on the ground and the ground also applies the same amount of force on the rocket in an upward direction.

Due to this upward push,the rocket takes off from the ground.

Answer 2

Answer:

The principle on which a rocket works is the Newtons third law of motion.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when a force is produce that is acting by pushing in one direction, there has to be an equal force that is acting on the opposite direction.

Rockets use compressed air and fuel to provide the propulsion it requires. The air and fuel are combusted in the engines, and are accelerated out of the rocket. The gases then pushes out the rocket in a backward direction. This acceleration of the gases from the rockets, provide an equal and opposite direction on the rocket which causes it to move forward.
